The museum at Cadolzburg Castle in Germany, opened in 2017, uses a sound installation to present aspects of the building’s history that could not be materially reconstructed. In this article, curators Sebastian Karnatz and Uta Piereth and sound artist Gerald Fiebig explain how the installation alternates between sound effects and musical signifiers to engage visitors with their environment and to spark reflection on the problems of “authenticity” in museums. While the musical thread offers quotes from musical styles representing the castle’shistory, the sound thread gradually deconstructs a “castle soundscape” inspired by film soundtracks.

The museum „A Castle and Its Lords“ at Cadolzburg castle in Germany, opened in 2017, uses the sound installation „Echoraum Cadolzburg / Cadolzburg Echo Space“ by Gerald Fiebig to present aspects of the building’s history that could not be materially reconstructed. The installation alternates between sound effects and musical signifiers to engage visitors with their environment and to spark reflection on the problems of “authenticity” in museums. While the musical thread offers quotes from musical styles representing the castle’s history, the sound thread gradually deconstructs a “castle soundscape” inspired by film soundtracks. The basic soundscape was composed by Heiko Schachter @ audiobooking. The hardware installation was planned and realised by Georg Sturm @ Sturm und Sterne. „Cadolzburg Echo Space“ was commissioned by the Bavarian Palace Department and curated by Dr Uta Piereth and Dr Sebastian Karnatz.
